The layers are created by dipping coloured glass into molten glass and then blowing the combination into a desired shape. Sommerso was developed in Murano during the late 1930s and Flavio Poli was known for using this technique and it was made popular by Seguso Vetri d'Arte and the Mandruzzato family in the 1950s. This particular piece has twelve facets to its geometric form and bears a vibrant ruby red at its core that is outlined in a layer of golden amber and a further layer of ice blue.
